How to Add a Sign-in Message in Windows 10

You can add a special sign-in message in Windows 10 that will appear for all users every time they sign in. The message can have a custom title and message text, so you can display any text message you want.

The ability to display such a message is not a new feature of Windows 10. As far as I remember, this feature was available even in Windows 2000, which was released 19 years ago. Windows 10 inherited this feature from previous Windows versions. It can be activated either with a Registry tweak or Local Group Policy Editor (where available). In this article, we will review both methods.

Here are a couple of things you need to know. The message will appear at sign-in on startup or after signing out. It becomes visible after the lock screen but before the Desktop appears. The color of the message screen background follows the accent color of the sign-in screen.
